Exploring an Abandoned Prison | Los Angeles

This abandoned Juvenile Detainee Camp, Camp Louis Routh, was built in 1937 in Los Angeles California. The detainee camp, or detention center, could hold up to 100 prisoners. In 2009 the detention center was closed down due to poor building conditions and has been abandoned since.
I'm assuming this would have been classified as a minimum security prison especially if I'm comparing it to the any previous abandoned prison or abandoned jail I've explored before but this was an awesome place to explore nonetheless!

Just so you know Tom, be careful exploring near those hills; mountain lions have been known to come down and wander around😉

I used to date a capt. at camp 9. These inmates would help them fight fires. It was a tough life. Don’t break the law…
